Transcription is when we take the information encoded in the gene in DNA and encode essentially that same information in mRNA. So transcription we are going from DNA to messenger RNA, and we're …

Eukaryotic gene transcription: Going from DNA to mRNA Overview of transcription Eukaryotic pre-mRNA processing Transcription and RNA processing

This process involves transcription factors, activators, enhancers, repressors, and silencers. Prokaryotes rely on gene regulation for environmental adaptation, while eukaryotes have more complex …

Oups. Il y a eu un problème. S'il vous plaît, veuillez reessayer. Oups, on dirait qu'il y a eu une erreur ! Vous devez actualiser. Si le problème persiste, dites-nous.

In transcription, the DNA sequence of a gene is transcribed (copied out) to make an RNA molecule.

DNA structure and replication Replication Transcription and mRNA processing Overview of transcription Transcription Translation (mRNA to protein) Overview of translation

Ups. Algo salió mal. Por favor inténtalo otra vez. Oh no, parece que encontramos un error. Necesitas actualiza. Si este problema persiste, avísanos.

AUG is another special codon, as along with adding methionine during transcription, it also acts as the initiation or start codon. The process of translation starts at the AUG codon.

An in-depth looks at how transcription works. Initiation (promoters), elongation, and termination.
